Magic From the Parade 1 by Phil Willmarth gathers some of the finest effects from the long-running “Hocus Pocus Parade” column in The Linking Ring magazine. As a former editor of the publication and a respected magician in his own right, Willmarth brings a discerning eye and a thoughtful touch to this carefully assembled volume.
Inside, you’ll find a diverse mix of magic—cards, coins, mentalism, close-up, and stand-up routines—each contributed by top thinkers and creators from around the world. These aren’t just magazine tricks. They are full, performable routines, handpicked for their practicality, cleverness, and strong audience reactions.
 
Willmarth adds insightful commentary and touches that make the material even more accessible and performance-ready. Some tricks are simple to learn and great for impromptu work, while others offer deeper methods for the seasoned magician. This first volume in the series serves as both a time capsule of magical thinking and a toolbox of fresh material for the modern performer.
